Key Points

  • The staff version of the questionnaire shows good validity, with content validity ratios between 0.84 and 1.
  • A Cronbach's alpha of 0.90 indicates excellent internal consistency for the questionnaire.
  • Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed a strong three-factor structure explaining 70.40% of total variance.
  • Data was collected from a sample of 140 nurses in a private hospital in Istanbul.

Abstract

Valid and reliable instruments are needed to assess person-centredness that serve as quality care indicators. Person-Centred Climate Questionnaire - staff version is an interculturally used tool to evaluate person-centredness in clinical settings. This study aimed to examine the psychometrics of the tool in the Turkish language. This was a methodological study involving a sample of 140 nurses. One of the researchers collected data using the Turkish version of the questionnaire-staff version in a private hospital in Istanbul. After performing the language validity steps, the researchers analysed the content validity ratios of the items and the questionnaire's content validity index, and they performed exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to validate the construct. The internal consistency of the subdimensions and the questionnaire was determined utilising a Cronbach's Alpha test. The content validity ratios of the items ranged from 0.84 to 1, and the correlation coefficients ranged from 0.50 to 0.69. The three-factor structure accounted for 70.40% of the total variance. The items' standardised factor loads were between 0.501 and 1.140. The Cronbach's alpha consistency value was 0.90. The staff version of the questionnaire is an adequately valid and reliable instrument in the Turkish language.
